Literaturnaya (Russian: Литерату́рная гарниту́ра or simply Литерату́рная) is a serif typeface, created in the USSR. Designed at Poligraphmash (Полиграфмаш) at the end of the 1930s by Anatolii Shchukin (Анатолий Васильевич Щукин), the font was based on Hermann Berthold's Latinskaya (St. Petersburg, 1901), a version of Lateinisch for Russia, also developed at the Berthold foundry (Berlin, 1899). The digital version of Literaturnaya was developed at ParaGraph (ПараГраф) foundry in 1996 by Lyubov Kuznetsova. Also, there was an unofficial digital version, created in 1992 by an unknown author (sometimes credited as !22! Soft).
